Filter by:To investigate the differences in diet, fat cell morphology and lipoprotein metabolism in previously- overweight and naturally lean men and women who ran and who lived sedentary lifestyles in order to better understand the relationship between lipoprotein metabolism and weight set-point.
To continue an international collaborative study on hypertension in populations of West African origin.
In the first phase, to establish the relationship of progression of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) to plasma homocysteine. In the second phase, to conduct a randomized, controlled trial of folic acid treatment of plasma homocysteine in peripheral vascular disease.
To determine whether deficient vagal antagonism of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) actions on the heart contributed to increased coronary heart disease risk in hostile persons.
To conduct a dietary intervention trial to test the lipid lowering response to the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Step Two Diet by free-living hyperlipidemic women and men and to compare the response between them.
To determine the contribution of polymorphic variation in candidate genes involved in lipid metabolism in determining quantitative lipoprotein-lipid levels and cardiovascular risk factors in Anglo and Hispanic populations of the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado. The candidate genes included those for A-IV, B, D, E, H, APO(a), LDL receptor, hepatic lipase, lipoprotein lipase, lethicin cholesterol acyletransferase (LCAT), and cholesteryl ester transfer protein.
To study the personality and environmental factors that may determine the short-term and long-term sequelae of coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS).
Originally from 1991 to 1991, to test the hypothesis that differences in hypertension prevalence in Nigerian workers were primarily related to differences in socioeconomic status (SES). At renewal in 1996, to determine the importance of weight gain and weight-related factors in blood pressure.
To investigate drug-gene interactions on the incidence of non-fatal myocardial infarction and stroke for hypertensive patients.
To conduct a randomized controlled smoking prevention trial to evaluate quality of implementation and effectiveness, as a function of provider type (school teacher vs. nurse) and training (mediated vs. interactive).
